Gannon University Hosts Regional Summer School of Excellence

Posted: July 10, 2018

This week, more than 20 high school students from the tri-state
area will attend Gannon University's Regional Summer School of
Excellence.

Over the course of the week, students will be engaged in the
study of the Lake Erie ecosystem, the management of coastal zone
resources, and will be challenged to tackle concerns such as
invasive species, bluff erosion, public access, water quality and
health of the ecosystem. The students work alongside Gannon
University faculty members and other area experts aboard Gannon's
research vessel, the RVEnvironaut,
collecting samples and testing them in a one-of-kind laboratory
experience.

At the selective summer camp, which has been offered for 30
years, high school students will explore the diversity of science
and health-related careers related to the biological sciences.
